This is the next song in the possession album. All the characters are bummed out after finding out from the bears they did bad stuff in past lives. Father O'Malley is sad about how his church used to burn people at stakes. Timmy and Bobby are sad about how their lives used to be simpler before finding out all this stuff and their friend being possessed. And the me-character is bummed out, in general.
The lyrics are:
Now I'm sad, and I have nothing to give
Once I knew what kind of person I was
Now that's through, and my mind's filling with fuzz
I used to be certain
Just a regular person
I once was oblivious to bad stuff
That was done by my religion, oh fuck
Then I learned after becoming clergy
People burned when they refused liturgy
I used to be certain
Just a regular person
I used to be a normal person
Back in the days when I was feeling certain
Now my mind's feeling ever tortured
Cuz I've learned nothing's ever for sure
It takes the cake with a great earthquake and it makes our minds all shake
And it's a blow, if I dare say so, it's a pill I don't want to take
Once we had a simple life and we were
Not so sad; and we smoked pot and reefer
In the end, a special badness is there
For our friend, nothing about life is fair
I used to be certain, just a regular person
Here's the alternative player thingy, in case you try to play the one up top on your portable electronic device and it doesn't work:
